Professor PK Basu, the author of ‘Asia Reborn’ over economic slowdown in UPA’s regime asked the Congress President that “Why is it so that in Congress regime, the per capita income has been always lower and lower than average per capita income of world but when you relinquished the government, the per capita income increased sharply.”
Basu stressed that Gandhi repeatedly failed to answer his question and accused the Congress party of posting an edited and doctored video portraying as if the latter had convincingly given the answer.
The author posted a video claiming that Gandhi had dodged the question.
‘Basu a fake economist’
Congress spokesperson Priyanka Chaturvedi retorted to Basu’s allegations accusing him of tarnishing India’s image on the world forum by giving out fake data. He should be sued instead, she said.
“You are a fake economist and only have personal agendas to carry forward. I can take legal action against you for defaming my country’s identity in a public forum abroad,” she said.
